Official CH-53 Big Iron FARP Patch — Refueling the Beast in the Field

Big Iron needs big fuel — and the FARP is where the CH-53 gets its drink in the middle of nowhere.

The Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP) is where Marine heavy helicopter operations meet expeditionary logistics, and the CH-53 Super Stallion is the biggest customer at the fuel pump. This patch recognizes the Marines who operate FARPs for HMH-464 and other CH-53 squadrons, providing the hot refueling capability that extends the range and endurance of the Marine Corps' heaviest helicopter. FARP operations require precision, speed, and nerves of steel — refueling a running helicopter is not for the faint of heart.

Perfect For: CH-53 FARP crews, HMH-464 support Marines, expeditionary fueling specialists, and rotary-wing logistics patch collectors.

Big Iron, big thirst — the FARP keeps the Stallion in the fight.
